Stencil Cleaners

Model 6000 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner

The Model 6000 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner is the “work horse" of the Smart Sonic Line of ultrasonic stencil cleaners. The Model 6000 is fully automatic and programmable. The operator simply places the stencil in the carrier basket and selects the desired cleaning profile. A 29" (740 mm) stencil can be washed and rinsed in less than 2 minutes! The Model 6000 is a modular design and can be configured with a second ultrasonic wash tank for cleaning other applications such as post solder flux from pallets, oven radiators and/or SMD adhesives. The Model 6000 is recommended for users requiring rapid cycle time for cleaning more than 20 stencils per day, automatic drying, or for cleaning multiple applications in the same machine.

ErgoSonic Model Stencil & Pallet Cleaner

The ErgoSonic Model Stencil & Pallet Cleaner is fully automatic and programmable. The operator loads the stencil into an empty chamber and selects the desired cleaning profile. The wash solution is uploaded to the wash chamber from a built-in reservoir and down loaded through a filtration system to the same reservoir after the wash cycle. The stencil is then spray rinsed and the cycle is complete. The total wash / rinse cycle time is approximately 10 minutes. The stencil is then removed and placed in the optional drying rack. Stencils are heat-sensitive and should NOT be dried using elevated temperatures. The ErgoSonic Stencil Cleaner is recommended for users desiring full automation and cleaning less than 20 stencils and/or pallets per day.

Model 1550 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner

The Model 1550 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner is our most popular semi-automatic system. It is designed to clean stencils up to 29" x 29" (740 x 740 mm) and fully equipped with the following integrated options:

Heated Wash Tank

Filter Recirculator

Ultrasonic Timer

Parts Basket

Wash Tank Cover

Hand Held Spray Rinse Assembly

Power Drain

Quick Kleen Liner

Hand Held Air Blow-off

For those not requiring all options, the Model 1500 may be configured with specific options to suit specific applications.

Model 2003 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner

The Model 2003 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner is a semi-automatic system configured with two ultrasonic wash tanks. This is an excellent machine for users desiring to clean multiple applications in the same machine.

Model 529 Stencil & Pallet Cleaner

The Models 529 Stencil & Pallet Cleaners are our most economical cleaning systems. The Model 529 is designed for cleaning larger stencils up to 29 inches (740 mm) in size. These systems are similar to the Model 1500 except all options are independent components whereas the Model 1500 has an integrated control panel and options are built into the system.

Wastewater Evaporators

Model SE-1

The Model SE-1 Wastewater Evaporator is a traditional style electrical-fired evaporator that is manufactured of 100% stainless steel to eliminate rust and corrosion commonly found in other evaporator designs. The Model SE-1 is also fully automatic and able to operate unattended with any Smart Sonic stencil cleaner.

Model EZ-0

The Model EZ-0 Wastewater Evaporator is Smart Sonic’s exclusive design for operation with any Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaner. “EZ-0” stands for “easy maintenance and zero discharge” because it processes the wastewater in a separate thermostatically-controlled chamber making routine maintenance easier and more efficient and, like the Model SE-1, nothing is discharged to drain and the construction is 100% stainless steel.

440-R SMT Detergent is also available in Ready-to-use Spray Bottles for manual stencil cleaning. Ready-to-use 440-R SMT Detergent is a safe water soluble detergent that improves cleaning efficiency, improves print production and eliminates the noxious odors, VOCs and hazards associated with solvent cleaning.

Closed Loop Filtration

Closed Loop Filtration

EnviroGuard™ is a closed-loop filtration system designed to filter contaminants from both the rinse and wash water, when using 440-R SMT Detergent. EnviroGuard is the only 100% closed-loop stencil cleaner filtration system as other systems only filter the rinse water. An EnviroGuard system may be combined with any Smart Sonic stencil cleaner to configure a 100% closed-loop process and eliminate the need of a wastewater evaporator and third party hauling of contaminated wastewater.
